Marks & Spencer, Collection, Susana Balbo Tradición Malbec, Uco Valley, Mendoza, Argentina 2023

Made for M&S by Susana Balbo, Decanter's 2024 Hall of Fame recipient, this Malbec is simply brilliant value for money. The latest vintage boasts plush black fruit – damsons, blackberries and black cherry – balanced by spices and a mineral note. Judicious oak use (eight months in used French barrels) ensures enough tannic grip for food: think steak or roasted Portobello mushrooms.
